Hey Puys,
Where can I find out information about Indian Hedge Funds? How prevalent is this concept in our country?
I came to know about a website, but it doesn't provide the information I am looking for and it gives a lot of strain to eyes!
I am very very new to the world of equities...
Did some research and have decided that SIP would be the best way to go for me based on my risk appetite/profile.But the sites which gave me the pros/cons of SIP never said anything about how/where to go and start them...
Do I need to have an account with ICCIDirect or any other specific bank(demat account ?) to start them ?
Or can I use the Cheques of my existing bank ?
P.S : As always,PG is the place to go when you need answers..:)
Hi Guys,
Need some info urgently. Please let me know if someone knows about it.
Is anyone aware of any changes in service tax for derivative trading ??
As per the latest, no changes - meaning no service tax - but you never know what to expect from this irresolute, vacillating govt.
Business Line : Markets / Stock Markets : Derivatives trading will be service tax free even post July 1

How about this

Yeah I referred this one too but it is more of a blog, I guess. And all the content on this site is cited from various other sites 😲
Puys,
Does the concept of "Sell Side Research Analyst" & "Buy Side Research Analyst" exist in India?

Lets see what happens in greek elections 
Also Monetary Policy outcome will rule the markets tommorow... Need to keep a close eye on Rate Sensitives... Crude decline is also good for us, in reducing our CAD....
In my opinion it may be a 25 bps Repo rate cut, accompanied with 25 bps CRR cut, to infuse liquidity....
what do u guys say....
Rs falls to all time lows. Its 60 next at this speed by july end :sneaky:
Rupee hits record low of 57 against dollar; on watch for RBI - The Economic Times
Puys Which way do you think is the nify headed for the month of July 2012...
Ruppes is hitting new lows so is the OIL so whats your view...
In the short term, as may be in the July Series, Nifty seems to be ruled by Bulls (in my opinion).
No Major FII Outflow has occured so far, Brent's fall is a reason to cheer for India & our economy, as it will reduce our huge import bill & in turn Current Account Deficit (CAD)...
Oil Companies will be huge beneficaries, & also this will reduce the burden on subsidies on the front of Govt.... HPCL & BPCL wd be the best picks in these times & lately HPCL has also given the breakout & tht 2 with hugh volumes at the strong Resistance level of 320 & moved till 345... May be in July series it may make new highs.....
Rupee also has now got a limited scope of further fall, as dollar is languishing a bit & also FII's who may be sitting on hugh cash, in the current volatile scenario & with the brent falling, may infuse capital in the market & hence rupee may not further depreciate much (if not appreciate)...
Monetary Policy Review on July 16 by RBI (with a strong hope of a rate cut & may be accompanied with a CRR cut) will only lift the market sentiment & hence bulls may be ruling the July Series....
Hello Puyz,
How are you all doing?
Well, I'd like to share my idea of collective knowledge sharing in context of Equity Markets.
As this thread is really for those who are really interested in Equity Markets, those who are willing to know more about it and many of us possess good knowledge and use that for investment purposes.
So I am thinking that why not we form a group or something like that? It will serve lot of purposes. We can set up a blog and post relative updates there too.
Those who live in the same city can even arrange a meet and discuss a lot of things. That will be really great knowledge sharing and we can make some friends too. It is quite possible that we encounter like-minded people.
I strongly beleive that puys within the same city can meet once in a week to discuss the market & economy scenario & have a cup of tea & at the same time fun & vital discussion & good networking
What do you all say? I'd like to have your opinions.
Is there anything like negative Beta ?

Read an excellent article by Captain Gopinath in ET
Lawrence J Peter, in his eponymous book The Peter Principle, espoused a strange theory that became famous. The Peter Principle states, "Every employee eventually rises to his level of incompetence."
Some organisations recognise this and take appropriate action: they simply fire the person from the post. But many don't or can't due to the person's loyalty to the organisation or perceived indispensability, and in some cases, emotional attachment.
Lawrence says that in such instances, they are simply kicked upstairs to posts like vice-presidents, where they are imprisoned in ceremonial trappings, so that they are out of the way.
There is general consensus that the outgoing finance minister wrecked the economy and undid all that the UPA government had accomplished under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and former finance minister P Chidambaram.
Despite the scandals and coalition-induced paralysis, the economy had raced ahead, riding on the entrepreneurial energy of India.
In just one year flat, the finance minister, unable to grasp the ramifications of his acts on investor sentiments and impact on the economy and inability to rein in his bunch of well-meaning but misguided bureaucrats, committed hara-kiri.
Corporate chieftains who usually wax eloquent and lavish praise on the finance minister, eager to please and be in his good books, were scathing in their attack. There was universal consternation at the bullheaded way in which bureaucrats of the ministry kept defending the indefensible.
My 2-pence : With Pranab da gone the mkts are joyed with +ve signals emanating from PMO (as hitherto FM for the time being)...mutual fund entry load , revisit to GAAR , vodafone taxation issue , etc. Frankly speaking Pranab da was behaving as if india still belonged to pre-liberalized era . His obnoxious behaviour was suffocating corporate india .
Hear! Hear! :clap::clap:
His obnoxious behaviour was suffocating corporate india .
Unfortunately Pranab's exit will not translate into much change. The policy bottlenecks imposed by coalition government politics will still be in place.
Any 2-bit party with a handful of MPs can easily block meaningful reforms and all for what - petty show of power/ego, vote-bank and populism!
